The talks lasted 40 minutes. The South Korean president noted the role and contribution of Beijing to the peace process on the Korean Peninsula and stressed that it is necessary to return the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the dialogue as soon as possible for its complete denuclearisation.
"[The president] asked China to continue to play a constructive role in leading North Korea to resume dialogue", the presidential administration said.
Wang reaffirmed China's "unwavering" support for the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula and progress in inter-Korean relations, and promised that the country will continue to play a constructive role.
The meeting took place before it became known that the DPRK on 15 September launched two ballistic missiles towards the Sea of Japan. The missiles flew about 800 kilometres at an altitude of 60 kilometres or more.
